Welcome to one of the most important and foundational works of English literature. Beowulf is an epic poem composed in Old English, consisting of 3,182 alliterative lines. The story was originally passed down orally by scops in Anglo-Saxon England and survives in a single medieval manuscript (Nowell Codex). Set in 6th-century Scandinavia, it follows the heroic exploits of Beowulf, champion of the Geats, as he faces the demonic monster Grendel, Grendel's vengeful mother, and a fiery dragon. This edition presents the epic poem adapted into a modern, fast-paced prose narrative.
